Synopsis

Album Description

For some years now Germany's Bernhard Fleischmann has been turning out sensitive electronica, thick with detail, feeling & warmth. On this his (at least) fifth album, Fleischmann continues with his carefully programmed digitalia and percussion, adding some beautifully organic songwriting and even a couple of subdued male/female indie ballads. Around a sprinkling of instrumentals lie some vocal stylings at times reminiscent of a melancholy Nick Cave.

CD Reviews

He's Lost It. Really Too Bad.

Michael Nix | Chicago, IL | 11/18/2008

(2 out of 5 stars)

"When the first track "Hello" started and I heard B. Fleishmann singing I knew it was too good to be true that he'd chosen the right direction and gone fully instrumental. Now he's got a heroin induced female counterpart and the two together sound like "The National" without the live rock band behind them, especially on the dragging, organ laden "In Trains." The electronic beauty he so successfully executed on "Welcome Tourist" is nearly null from this record.

He does stay true to his IDM / electronic roots with "Last Time We Met at A T&TT Concert" and "Market," so if you're a one-song listener, just buy these two.

Finally, I hate to say it, but WHAT THE HELL is "Phones, Machines and King Kong" ? He samples some teenage boy or small-sounding woman half talking, half singing like a pre-pubescent Lou Reed. This is just not good, which again is really too bad, because the music behind this terrible voice is actually beautiful.

I do not recommend this album."

Saw this coming and digging it

"i've been listening to b.fleischmann for a while now and own all the albums. he's been venturing towards this route and i'm totally happy with it. Even though I've never been a fan of local austin artist Daniel Johnston, he's appropriate in Phones, Machines and King Kong. it may take some getting used to if you want the old b.fleischmann but i think if you have any taste and desire something more and different from an artist, check it out.
